Can someone explain this graph to me?

[v-600]

I was just reading the Sony Vaio review and got to the section looking at the screen. At the bottom of the list of bar charts was this graph http://images.anandtech.com/doci/4748/gamutvision.jpg along with the text

"As you can see, the VAIO S' numbers are pretty stunningly mediocre all around, with a terrible Delta E and a contrast rating below 200:1"

It's the "As you can see" bit that's got me as unfortunately I don't know what I am looking for in this graph. Can someone tell me exactly "what I can see?"

At best guess it means the screen can handle blues, greens, pinks and yellows in a diamond kinda wiremesh shape :'(

Thanks,

Nathan

the ice cream cone, everyone knows that flat bottoms are best, cone shaped ones like that have narrow bottoms, so they can't hold much ice cream at all.

I believe the wireframe mesh is supposed to represent AdobeRGB, the maximum color quality for display (or something like that). The solid bit is what the display actually shows. So, that Sony VAIO displays dark colors well, and whites fairly well, but colors suck. Overall, the solid shape in inside the mesh, so the display is garbage with respect to accurate color reproduction.

Contrast that to this review:

The monitor has two modes, AdobeRGB & sRGB, and switching between them gives the user differing color reproduction.

The outside mesh represent the AdobeRGB color space while the solid one is the representation of what was measured from the display

Ah, cool. That makes more sense now. The wire frame is a theoretical best and the solid colour is how well it compares.
